Friday Fragments: Bathing Suit Tales

I rocked my bikini last week at Disney.  Well, perhaps rocked is a strong word, but I wore it, in public...in a place where no one would ever see me again! *grins*

Earlier this week I spent the day at the beach with a friend I have known since Kindergarten.  On the way there, I caught up via phone with my best friend up north, also someone I met in Kindergarten.  I value all of my friends, but there is just something about those special few that I have known almost my entire life and with whom I have been through pretty much everything.

My friend at the beach is a fitness instructor and just got herself a fantastic pair of fake boobs.  I did not wear my bikini to the beach! *eye roll*

It's been hot enough to fry an egg on pavement Below the Mason Dixon Line this week, so we also hit the pool.  I have the lamest pool on the planet.  There is hardly ever anyone else there, so it gets a little boring for me because I don't stay in the water as long as my children do and when I get out there is no one with whom to talk.  I was thrilled when another mom showed up with two kids, as she seemed very friendly. Then she whipped out the Takis (hot fry chips that are all the rage among the 10-year-old set down here) and Mt Dew.  She offered to share and I was in my head thinking, "Don't judge! Don't judge" and then she turns to the lifeguard and bellows, "Lifeguard! You are on duty. I'm going to smoke!"  and I couldn't hold back the demons anymore...I'm sure she's very nice, but my mom radar alarms were going off full blast! ~Also not wearing the bikini...she might see me again and judge me for my bathing suit choices! *giggles*

The Girl had a sleepover last night so The Boy and I went to the brand new Frozen Yogurt Bar in town. I am so excited about this... we have tons of ice cream places in the city, but didn't have a good one in the plaza in our town... it was a sore spot for me!  Then we went home and I played Mario Kart with him... I rarely play video games with my kids.  I tucked him in and thanked him for being my date and playing with me and he gave me that sweet smile that let me know he enjoyed his "Mom Time" too! *sigh* ~ I do not play Mario Kart in my bathing suit...bikini or otherwise...in case you were wondering!

I tried my darndest to cut off my finger while slicing carrots on my mandolin this week. Instead I settled for slicing my finger nail away from my nail bed... a 1/2inch long slit just left of center on my thumb. Holy Mary Mother of...did that hurt!!!!  It's finally "dead" enough that I was able to cut the sliced part down so it stopped catching things. ~ Not, however, while wearing a bathing suit... I'm not my mother, afterall!

On that note... Have a great weekend!
